Description / Abstract:
SCOPE:
In efforts to increase the accuracy and reliability of altimetry,
speed measurement and other
aspects of air data, a great deal of attention and money have been
expended on new and refined
pressure transducing and computing systems and on the standards by
which they are calibrated. So
much progress has been made in this that the limiting factor is, or
may soon be, the sensing and
transmitting in the aircraft of the pressures to be transduced. Until
the appearance of References
1-13 and 18 there was little guidance available on the maintenance of
pitot and static systems.
This report presents what information is available, suggests limits,
and lists the principal
original papers on the subject.
Purpose:
To set forth in a single document the principles and practices for
maintenance of pitot and static
pressure systems of transport aircraft.
